Holland & Barrett owners said to be considering sale

Private equity house Carlyle is reportedly exploring a £1bn sale of health food and vitamins retailer Holland & Barrett, according to The Sunday Telegraph. The potential sale follows a jump in sales and profits of 12%, driven by UK and overseas expansion. Carlyle acquired Holland & Barrett’s parent company NBTY in 2010.
